Fresh or salt water?

Odd, the article Poecilia says they are fresh-water but the habitat entry for this article sounds like salt water (or I just don't understand it not being expert in zoology). Can someone check and add it to the article?

I came over here from the article on brackish water, which said that mollies are sold as a freshwater fish but can sometimes do better in brackish (not salt) water. Maybe that clears things up a bit. Arianna 05:02, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I live in Central America (From where most of the molly typer are) and I can tell they do live in fresh wather river, lakes and some other water volumes.

They do Brakish as well but not Salt Wather.

Black/midnight confusion

Black molly and midnight molly are not synonims. Black molly is melanistic P. sphenos. Midnight molly is melanistic P. latipinna. Need sources before affirm black molly is P. sphenops x P. latipinna. Ankylosaurus08 (talk) 07:54, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
